The Hotel Vista Premio Kyoto Kawaramachi St. is an excellent mid-range hotel located in the heart of Kyoto’s downtown shopping district.
Still new enough to be crisp and clean, the Hotel Vista Premio is one of the few hotels that have managed to squeeze themselves into the busy downtown shopping district of Kyoto. It’s just a short walk from the Shinkyogoku Shopping Arcade, Kawaramachi-dori, and two or three train and subway stops. The rooms are slightly larger than average for hotels in this class and they’re in excellent condition. It’s highly recommended for those who demand to be right in the heart of the action.
